A Sage Decision.

David S. Sage and wife of Lebanon, 111., were killed in a storm four years ago. In a suit for a settlement of the estate of SIO,OOO, the question arose which had died first. If Sage, then his wife's relatives would be entitled to her award, consisting of dower and homestead. If his wife died first, then her relatives would be entitled to nothing There was no way of proving whiclf had died first, and the court held that since womnu is weaker than man Mrs, Sage must have died first.
